J4MES OX4D 10,025 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Looks like there will be a VAT increase between 3-15% on digital downloads including marketplace games, iTunes and all that mumbo jumbo to close an unforeseen tax 'loophole'. It is expected to be fixed at 20% come January 2015.

deterioration 443 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm in NY so I'm used to being hextuple taxed but that's bull shit! I'm against taxing items you can't hold in your hands to begin with.

Madjonny 386 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 They will have to reduce the prices to keep it around the same IMO...people won't pay more than in a shop to buy games where you get nothing to show for it, games in psn are already more than they are in shops usually, keeping it at rrp price and hardly ever getting discounted... iTunes music will go to like 1.15-1.20 per song that's ridiculous...
